How to Cook Blackened Red Snapper

Can I use a different fish?

Yes, this recipe goes great with any firm white fish such as grouper, Mahi Mahi, Sea Bass, or Halibut.

How do I know when it is done cooking?

When the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cook the red snapper for approximately 4 minutes on each side.

Is the dish spicy?

The cayenne pepper does add a bit of heat to the dish. You can always remove this ingredient for a spicy free fish.

Or add more if you love it HOT!

How to Make Peach Salsa

Do I have to use peaches?

Mango goes great with this salsa! Feel free to swap a mango with the peaches if you prefer.

Do I remove the skin from the peaches?

Its preference here! I removed the skin but you can easily skip this step.
